Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1911..

'support for bags such as receptacles for soiled Wearing apparel, towels and the like or for waste paper.

The support which forms the subject matter of the present application is particularly intended and adapted to be used in connection with a receptacle such as that shown in the drawings and described hereinafter. I do not herein claim the novel features of the receptacle itself, but reserve that as the subject matter of an application to be later filed by me.

The invention consists in the combination .and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan of a receptacle and its support embodying my invention, a door or other suit able support for the same being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional elevation taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, looking toward the right in said figure.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

In the drawings, 5 is a receptacle preferably cylindrical in form and formed of any suitable iexible material such as canvas, leather or rubber, said receptacle being provided with a removable false bottom 6 formed of some suitable stiff material which when in place will hold the receptacle in its distended state, as shown. The receptacle is suspended from a support 7 comprising a ring 8 which in this instance is formed of a tube bent into circular form and having its ends inserted in a projection 9 formed-on a plate 10, said plate being adapted to be secured to a wall or door 11 by means of screws 12. The support 7 is preferably reinforced where the ring 8 is connected to the projection 9 by means of a reinforcing member 13 which extends into said ring upon opposite sides of said projection, said p arts being secured together by means of rivets or pins 14, 14 and 15, 15 (see Fig. 3).

A plurality of knobs or the like 16 are mounted on the ring 8 at suitable intervals, said knobs extending through holes 17, respectively, in the receptacle 5, said holes being preferably made -like the buttonholes Of a garment so that said receptacle may be easily and quickly detached from the support by unbuttoning the same from the knobs or buttons 16.

By reference to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the receptacle 5 is hemmed at the top and a draw string 18 is inserted in the hemmed portion, the ends of said string eX- tending outwardly therefrom. It will be noted that the receptacle is provided with a suitable V-shaped notched portion 19, shown in Fig. 3, which straddles the projection 9 and permits the receptacle to t the ring smoothly without wrinkles.

While the receptacle is adapted to be' used for a great variety of purposes, the same is particularly adapted for use as a laundry bag and when used as such there is not the inconvenience of opening and closing the same from time to time when articles are placed therein, the same being open at all times. When the receptacle has been filled the same may be removed from its support by unbuttoning it 'from the knobs or buttons 16 and the draw string may thenbe pulled to close the top. The receptacle may -then be replaced by another while the first is being sent to the laundry.

In Fig. 2 I have shown the receptacle provided with a strap or loop 20 to which may be attached a suitable identification tag, not shown. When the receptacle becomes soiled or stained, it may be removed and the separate bottom 6 removed from the inside after which the receptacle may be washed and ironed and then returned to its place on the support, thus making it clean and healthful. It will be noted there is an entire absence of any parts which would make inconvenient or impossible such cleansing of t-he receptacle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to secure is:

A device of the class described having,

in combination, a supporting plate having a projection thereon, a member bent into the In testimony whereof I have hereunto set form of a ring and having tubular ends inmy hand in presence of tWo subscribing Witsert-ed in said projection, e reinforcing memnesses.

ber extending into said tubular ends and GEORGE A.- PENNIMAN. secured thereto, and means on said ring by Witnesses:

which a receptacle may be suspended there- LOUIS A. JONES,
